Testing the space collector databases


Use the following procedure to test the space collector databases.

To test the space collector databases

  1. Under DASD Analysis on the EZSRM Menu, select Space Utilization to advance to the Space Utilization menu.

    Important

    A space collector interval must be complete before the space collector data is available. The default interval is 60 minutes. As distributed, the first space collector interval will occur after 60 minutes. Under DASD Utilization, select the Space Intervals option to proceed to the SPINTV view to determine when the first space collector interval occurred.

    If, after waiting, the interval still does not appear, type COMPSTAT as a primary command to see the Component Status view. Make sure that the space collector is active.

  2. Under DASD Utilization, select Groups and Pools to advance to the SPPOOL view. It shows pools and groups collected by the space collector, sorted in descending order by the Percent Full column.
  3. Select a pool or group to advance to the EZPOOL EZCmd menu.
  4. Under Volumes In Group, select VIR Percent Full to advance to the SPVOLVI view. It shows volumes in the selected group, sorted in descending order by the VTOC Index Percentage Full field.
